Navitas scores Corporate Business Community Medal for a second year

NAVITAS Skilled Futures is honoured to have received a prestigious NSW Premier’s Multicultural Community Medal for the second year in a row.

The Corporate Business Excellence Medal, presented at the NSW Premier’s Harmony Dinner earlier this month, recognises the “outstanding achievements of a business in creating employment, or other opportunities, which value and promote diversity and inclusion”.
Navitas has seven colleges across Western Sydney, including at Auburn, where they operate the Commonwealth Government funded Skills for Education and Employment program – SEE Program – providing people of all backgrounds with job-related training in language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills to help them prepare for work or further study so they can live their best lives in Australia.
General Manager, Jetinder Macfarlane, said it was a great honour to be acknowledged, especially in a year marked by the challenges of delivering training and employment opportunities during an ongoing pandemic.
“It’s been a big, busy and challenging year for Navitas Skilled Futures, as for so many others, and we are so grateful to be recognised for the contribution we make across our colleges, not just to keep our learners on track with their goals, but to continue to move them positively forward on their journeys,” she said.
As well as being recognised for its innovative courses and projects, Navitas Skilled Futures was praised for its proactive response to the Covid-19 lockdown, working collaboratively with government, community groups and support agencies to ensure students, their families and communities were kept informed, safe and compliant during this challenging time.
